A Hint to Sleepers.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard OF snoring savage. In fact. if
the wild man of the woods and plains
does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk
OF being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp OF the snorer would soon adorn
the belt of his crafty and more silent
sleeping adversary. In the natural state.
then, natural selection" weeds out
those who disturb their neighbors by
making night hideous with snores. With
civilization. however, we have CHANGED
all this. The impure air of our slcepin0
rooms induces all manner of catarrhal
affections. The nasal passages are the
first to become affected Instead OF
warming the inspired air on its wav to
the lungs, and removing from it the
dangerous impurities with which il is
loaded, the nose becomes INSTRUCTED. A
part of the air enters and escapes bv wav
Of the mouth. The veil of the nalate
vlbrates between the two currents-that
through the mouth and the one still
passing through the partially closed nos
trlls-like torn sail in the wind. The
snore, then, means that the sleeper's
mouth is partly open, that his nose is
partially closed, and that his lungs are
In danger from the air not being properly
warmed and purified. From the contin-
ual operation of these cause.-the in
crease Of impure air in sleeping rooms

predicted that in the future all men

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Too Much Bathing Bad.

DIR. Titus Munson Coan, in an article
on "The Curative Uses of Water" in
Hdrper's says regarding bathing: There
are bath fanatics who ignorantly think
that life without an epidermis is the only
desirable form Of existence. Their rapt-
ures OF saponifcation and of scrubbing
are all very well as luxury, though the
inunctions of the Roman therme were
better, because the oil used after the bath
supplied some protection to the abradcd
skin. But the fury of rubbing is only
for the strong, and even the strong, il
they practice their rites in n malarious
country, have been observed to sicken
sooner than those who have contented
themselves with cleansing, and have not
gone on to excoriation."

Yanton killing Of Birds.

The heartless proclivity on the part of
boys and some men to kill birds, regard
less as to kind, is scarcely even checked
by the severity of the law. Last spring
there were several cases where parties
were arraigned for the offense. and they
were greatly astonished TO learn that for
each bird killed, the fine was $50. AS
half of this amount goes TO the in
former, the probability is that other vio-
lators of the law will realize the eXpen-
siveness of the sport Blackbirds are
supposed mot to be included under TIE
protection of the law. and those who have
been recklessly shooting them, may very
unexpectedly discover their mistake
These birds are known to be valuable as
insect destroyers, and, together with
robins and other small birds, are pro-
tected by the law.

Hill Cemetery, near Brooklyn, this coun-

to eject him. Hoffman was living on his
lot with phial containing little lauda-
mum by his side. He was aroused and
taken to DIR. J. r. Robinson's Office. but
as the poison had had ample time to take
good effect he could not be revived. and
died about $3.50 o'clock The authorities
were notified and an inquest was held.

oner. The verdict rendered was that
John Augustus Hoffman came to his
death by taking an overdose of laudanum

Close of the Bazaar.

The bazaar that has been in progress
since Tuesday afternoon, CLOSED last
night The evening was devoted largely
to auctioning off the articles of fancy
work and the edibles. Some sold for less
than value while others brought good
prices Nearly every article was disposed
of, but few things remain to be rallied at
an early date.
The faithful and untiring efforts of the
ladies' met with reward in the success of
the bazaar and the amount of money
raised Although the number in attend
ance each night was good, and the pa
tronage fair, yet had every citizen, whose
duty it was to, in some way, contributed
to the cause, given his or her mite. the
amount then realized would have swelled
the present fund to several hundred
dollars. The ladies who were per-
sonally interested in the bazaar and its
cause, take this means of thanking
those who extended their helping
hand and liberal patronage. The
receipts and disbursements not being full
" settled, the sum realized cannot at
present be fully estimated.
